Acupuncture was carried out in 141 sufferers from late-onset radiation injuries to skin and soft tissues. 122 patients (86%) revealed clinical manifestations of edema of varying gravity in arms and legs, while 19 (14%) suffered radiation-induced neuritis or plexitis unaccompanied by edema. Radionuclide and rheographic studies as well as evaluation of hemostatic function showed acupuncture to be an effective treatment for edema and pain. It also improved lymph flow, rheovasographic indexes and normalized hemostasis. The best results were obtained in cases of stage I-II edema.
对141例晚期皮肤和软组织放射性损伤患者进行了针灸治疗。122例患者（86%）出现了手臂和腿部不同程度的水肿临床表现，而19例患者（14%）患有放射性神经炎或丛神经炎，无水肿症状。放射性核素和血流图研究以及止血功能评估表明，针灸是治疗水肿和疼痛的有效方法。它还改善了淋巴流动、血流图指标并使止血功能恢复正常。在I-II期水肿病例中取得了最佳效果。
